Madhya Pradesh CM Acknowledges Financial Burden of Ladli Behna Scheme
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav described the Ladli Behna scheme, which provides monthly financial assistance to women, as a significant financial burden for the state. Launched in early 2023, the scheme initially offered Rs 1,000 per month, now increased to Rs 1,500, benefiting over 12 million women. During a Bundeli Samagam event, Yadav humorously acknowledged the scheme's costs while affirming the government's commitment to women's empowerment. Opposition voices raised concerns about the scheme's implementation and expansion.
